Fatal Surrey tractor-trailer crash death of Sandeep Singh Cheema – Obituary
Last week, a tragic head-on crash involving two tractor-trailers in Surrey claimed the life of 41-year-old Sandeep Singh Cheema. His family is now grappling with the loss, leaving his widow Manjeet to care for their two young daughters.
According to a GoFundMe set up by his relatives, Cheema was remembered fondly by his family. His brother-in-law, Kiran Singh, shared on the page that Cheema had left for work with the promise to return home but did not make it back.
The accident occurred around 8:10 p.m. last Tuesday near Highway 17 and 116th Avenue.
Cheema was nearing the end of his shift, preparing to park his truck for the night, when another semi-trailer reportedly ran a red light, according to family members.

Cheema was transported to the hospital but succumbed to his injuries after spending several days in the ICU. Singh reflected on the loss, noting that Cheema was just moments away from completing his workday and reuniting with his family.
Having moved to Surrey in 2012 following the deaths of his parents in a car accident, Cheema had built a new life there.
He married Manjeet in 2016. Despite his passing, Singh emphasized that Cheema’s spirit and zest for life continue through his family. Additionally, Cheema’s organs have been donated to help others in need.
The RCMP are seeking any witnesses or dashcam footage related to the crash. Those with information are encouraged to contact Surrey RCMP at 604-599-0502 and reference File No. 2024-104138.
